Residency renewal: Isabella needs $2,500 before the deadline

A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Isabella can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,500. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline. I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that my case is valid. If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know. I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $2,500 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70 • Certified translations and document copies: $100 • Attorney retainer: $2,330 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
